Abstract
Provided are an internal combustion engine automatic stop/restart device and an internal combustion engine automatic stop/restart method capable of appropriately releasing a drive inhibition state of a starter () depending on an RPM of an internal combustion engine (). The drive inhibition state of the starter is released when a drive inhibition release determination period, which is set depending on a time interval between a time point when a first reverse rotation crank signal is detected and a time point when a second reverse rotation crank signal is detected and a drive permission lower limit value corresponding period corresponding to a starter drivable RPM lower limit value, elapses before a third reverse rotation crank signal is input.
